hi,
i just started doing laplace transform n i have real trouble doing these two questions, anyhelp would be great...

L{te^t(sint)}
L^-1{1/((s^2+1)(s-1)^2)}
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You need to show some working.

Starting with the question may help...
 
for the first question t*e^t*sin(t) i got
(2s-2)/((s-1)^2+1)^2
and for the L^-1{1/((s^2+1)(s-1)^2)} i got
(e^s/8)-(s*e^s/4)-(e^-s/8)+(s^2*e^s/4)
...doesnt look right does it?
 
The first one is right, let me check the second.
 
Oh, the second is definitely not right. When you take the inverse laplace transform you should get a function of t only with no s. How did you try to do it?
 
oh yea sorry i mean to write t instead of s..my bad~!
but after looking at it again i got

cos(t)/2 - e^t/2 + te^t/2

i think this one is correct..anyway thanks for all your help :)
